Master in Data Driven Computing and Decision Making
2020 - 2022
University of Patras, Patras, Greece
DDCDM (Data Driven Computing and Decision Making) is a three-semester (90 ECTS) postgraduate programme given by the Department of Computer Engineering & (CEID) and the Department of Mathematics (SNS) of the University of Patras. CEID administers the programme. The program's goal is to offer graduate level education and training in data processing, analysis, inference, and decision making using current computer platforms. Data mining and knowledge extraction methods, data modelling and simulation, methodologies, algorithms and technologies for decision making systems, e) designing and evaluating tools for the software stack and computational.
Bachelor in Computer Science
2016 - 2020
University of Liverpool, Merseyside, UK
The University of Liverpool's computer science history extends back to the 1960s. The Department of Computer Science was established in 1983 to promote study and research in this exciting new field that combines mathematics, physics, biology, and engineering. After five decades, the Department continues to evolve at a dizzying speed, remaining at the forefront of computer science globally. The department was one of the first in the University to collaborate with Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, resulting in a strong international teaching and research collaboration.
